History
The “Eyewitness” project was a project that was done as a memorial of past Illinois governors from the last ~50 years at the time of making the project. The project was done primarily via interviews with those who were close to each of the respective governors, and general research about the governors’ early life and pre-governorship. The final project was a memorial book of all of the interviews and research.
